"This property adjoins the GOVERNMENT SHIP CHANNEL at PORT HOUSTON, and lays between the ship channel proper and the main part of the city, being directly between the two points of great development now
going on, and within the, city limits.
Street car service directly through thd property affords quick transportation to any part of the city at a five-cent fare. '
Sixteen lines of railroads, including both the Hill and the Harriman systems, center at Magnolia Park, where they will meet the great ocean-going vessels. Immense wharfage and docks arc now being
constructed here.
The government ship channel has 18y2 feet of water from the turning basin to the high seas, and is being further deepened to 25 fect.
The city of Houston is spending $250,000 building free wharves to prevent monoply of the wharf frontage. . ;
MAGNOLIA PARK is splendidly adapted for both residential and business property. It lays beautifully, being perfectly drained and covered with beautiful shade trees. The company is improving thestreets
and beautifying the property. ? , ' ,; ; ' Ir;i '' '' J '
Values are rising faster on this property than anywhere in America at this time. Acreage adjoining has quadrupled irf price wilhing the past 18 months. The Hill interests have just bought a tract of 81
acres at $2,250 per acrp, which sold for $600 per acre about 18 months ago. This is as high as our property figures by the lot. '
$5.00 Down Secures a Lot. $5.00 Per Month Carries It
No Taxes Till 1912. No Interest at All. Free Life Insurance to protect you while you are paying for it, tells the story.
Beside all this the company will pay all expenses of a trip to Tcxai for an inspection of the property, and make the sale subject to approval. Is this not fair enough?
